I haven't worked much with JMX before, but some quick googling (10-20 minutes) is very inconclusive as to how I would go about getting the server version I'm connecting to from a Python client. Can someone please reassure me that it's relatively trivial for non Java clients to query JMX for the server version of every server in the cluster? Is there a reason not to include this in the API itself?
